The MODERN COTswOLD.-In this
country the Cotswold is favorite, as in
its own. Texan herders employ its blood
for grading up the stock emanating
from the Merino Mexican cross and the
shepherds of Colorado use II in like
manner, producing harder and more
fertile breed than the Merino grade, and
improving the quality of the mutton
many fold. Cotswold rams, to serve
these very desirable purposes, have
come in from the Atlantic States to the
central poi tons of the Rocky Mountain
region, and thence, and from New Zea-
land and Australia importa tons have
sought Oregon and Washington Terri
tory, which, in turn, have been sources
of supply to Montana, Idaho and Wyo-
ming.
The ideal sheep of the North Pacific
slope is short jointed. sound-bodied.
even feeced animal, without horns or
deep wrinkles; vigorous, docile, easy to
be herded, and capable of enduring rig
OF Gus weather. The fleece should be
charged with a plentiful supply of yolk,
to defend it from the cold, but not to be
overloaded with gun Such sheep are
an economical possession, will do well
in greater numbers to one flock and on
winter pasturage than larger ones eau
and yield heavier clip in proportion
TO their live weight. Besides the flock
owner gets more secured wool To weigh
of fleece than If the sheep were of heav-
Ter frame, and the fleeceS gummier and
more yolky. The wethers of this descrip
ton keep in good order for muttonS
upon pasturage which could not support
those OF a larger type in fair condition;
their flesh is sweet, firm and delicious,
suitable TO all tastes. Such an animal
results from crossing the grade Merino
with the improved Cotswoid. The
modern Cotswold is larger than the new
Leicester, and their wool lies close upon
the body. Its staple measures six to
eight inches, and has weight of seven
to eight pounds to the fleece. The sheep
are hardy, almost invariably of strong
constitution, and the ewes are prolific,
good mothers and good nurses, and their
lambs are covered early with close,
warm fleece.

PLANTING TREES .-For years we have
noticed that apple trees growing alone,
or in one row along the road or fence,
would be exceedingly thrifty and pro-
ductive, while those in the orchard on
the same farms or soils would prove un-
productive and unthrifty. The reason
for this is the roots of the single speci-
mems have plenty Of room. See that
great oak or maple standing out in the
field alone, or along the fence or road,
and compare the trees of the same age
and kind in the forest. In the one case
you have strong spreading branches,
producing five to ten times the amount
of nuts of those trees in the forest. We
believe the same may be said of the fruit
trees. Planted close together they grow
weakly and are unproductive, and un-
profitable. One needs but to look at our
large apple orchards to be convinced.
The outside row of trees all around the
orchard is healthy. thrifty and produc-
tive, and the trees produce more apples
than the other trees. The roots must
feed and have room for it. We are sat
istied 100 trees thus planted will yield aS
much prof as 200 or 800 set in orchard
form. Apple trees that lean toward the
east furnish a complete and convenient
Judgment for the Larvae from which the
apple borer springs. The summers
suns and the winters winds and frost
tend to roughen the bark of The trees
or the westerly sides of the body. These
impair the vitality of the tree somewhat
possibly aided by bad pruning or lack
of pruning and good culture. A per-
fectly straight and healthy, vigorous
apple tree is almost impervious to the
borer.-FruH Recorder.

happiness that had been coming on
flying feet to meet her that at first she
could not take this cold clay rs sole

Laurence holt had met John Terrell
few days before In some Western
city, and, learning from chance remarks
OF the latter (who has not yet recovered
from his surprise at woman's refus-

actually occurred that evening, long
ago, he started home at once. He was
not much richer in pocket than then,
out his heart was fun of JOY and bright
hopes, and clean-swept of all those sick

knew were the distortions of a created
fancy.
Sometimes people die OF a rush of
happiness to the heart, as we'll as from

If he had been Scotch he would have

In the yellow, time-discolored paper,
Lucia found a faded bunch of violets,
the words of al old song she had
copied, and two ragged bits of dark
blue flannel pinned together with the
spiky leaf OF the aguarita.
Ali he must, indeed, have dIstrusted
his Joy, or else what subtle prescience
made him tkus photograph his heart
for her.
